Scar Story It was a nice day out this one summer afternoon, so my parents invited my family over for a barbeque at our house. I come from a big Mexican family, so it was a good thing we had a really big backyard. I am the youngest grandchild out of eighteen, the oldest was forty-one and I the youngest was seven at the time. The closest cousin to me in age at the time was eleven and I always tired to hangout with my older cousins. On this summer afternoon my cousins and I decided to build an obstacle course thought out my house to see who could run it the fastest. We made it start from my front yard and it weaved through the living room, my sister’s room, my parent’s room, then out the back door where it ended. My parents are the type of parents that when we have people over no matter if there family or not the only room there allowed in is the bathroom. Before we started I told all my cousins that they had to be quite the whole time when we ran through the obstacle course. We started the races and my two cousins did the obstacle course in really good time, I thought that if I could just run the fastest I could through out the whole course I could beat both there times and win. I started running so fast it felt like I was just flying through the obstacle course, I was just about to round the corner of my parent’s bed when all of a sudden I hear my mom yell my name. I lost my concentration for a spilt second when I turn my head to see if she was in the hall when she yells my name, I felt this sharp pain I had never felt anything like this before in my life. I look down at my leg where I felt the pain and my parents forgot to put on the safety corners to there bed frame, so my leg got stabbed by the bed frame. Blood was running down my leg like a waterfall, I had never seen so much blood in my life. the first thing that pops in my head is that i am going to be in so much trouble ,first of all I...

...Atrophic Scar Tissue
Atrophic scars look like small dents or pits in the skin. They are normally an unusual shape, and tend to be jagged around the edges. A common, and the most likely, cause for people to have this type of scar will be due to having acne or chicken pox prior to scarring. They can occur anywhere on the body, but facial atrophic scars are what most people choose to have treated or covered with the use of camouflage creams.
Atrophic scars are caused by the underlying tissues beneath the scar, such as fat, collagen and muscle. If these structures sustain damage, it is likely an atrophic scar will form, as the skin reacts to loss of or damage to the tissue beneath.
How to camouflage atrophic scar tissue:
1) Cleanse the area you wish to camouflage, using suitable cleanser selected for the specific skin type
2) Tone the area using the selected toner for the specific skin type
3) Gently blot the area with a tissue
4) Moisturise the area with a moisturiser suited to the skin type
5) Gently blot the area with a tissue
6) Use suitable corrective colour camouflage cream to cancel out the undertone colour of the scar in accordance to colour theory
7) Set with camouflage powder or setting spray
8) Apply another layer of corrective colour if needed
9) Set with camouflage powder or setting spray...

...Richard’s skin are the ability to secret sweat, the ability to convert sun to vitamin D, ability to protect against infection, ability to regulate temperature and the ability to protect against infection. Other skin functions that should be a concern to the medical staff is that Richard’s skin will lose the ability to store blood and there will be no tissue growth. His skin will also lose the ability to maintain water and salt balance.
It is unlikely for Richard to grow hair to cover thescars on his chest because his hair follicles in the burnt area are damaged and there can be no more hair growth because of this. Also the scar tissue is covering the pores from which hair sprouts.
During the first phase of wound healing, inflammation takes place first. Blisters form on the outer edges of the burns as the wounds begin to form scabs.
Formation of granulation tissue will not lead to normal appearing/ formation of skin as Richard heals. This is because granulation tissue is scar tissue and scar tissue does not appear normal or allow hair growth or normal skin function.
Some long term consequences include the inability to regulate temperature and feel pain because of the dead nerve endings at the site of the burn. Numbness may occur, his body will not be able to secret sweat and he might gain weight because of this....

...Atrophic scars are small dents created in the skin which are most commonly caused by acne or chicken pox. They can differ in shape and tend to have a jagged edge.
You would camouflage an atrophic scar by using the correct coloured camouflage cream to cancel out the undertone colour of the scar. If needed another layer of colour can be used. This would be set with powder or setting spray. Then a layer of camouflage cream matching the skin colour would be put on top and set. Highlighter will be applied to the outline and the middle of the scar so it looks as if the skin has been raised.

...Slavery's Destruction and the Scars that Create New Identities
"On a cold January night in 1856, eight Northern Kentucky slaves, including 22-year-old Margaret Garner and her four children, crossed the frozen Ohio River en route to Canada and freedom. The next morning, an armed posse of 11 white men, led by Garner's master, Archibald Gaines, surrounded the Cincinnati house where the runaways were hiding. In the melee that followed, Garner murdered her two-year-old daughter and attempted to kill her remaining children." (Goodman) This is the true story behind the classic novel Beloved; a story that is filled with symbols, pain, and sorrow. Each character has their own particular baggage that they carry with them whether it is in the form of a symbol or memory that has forever changed who they are. In this instance they lose their identity and are forced to adapt new ones for better or for worse.
The idea of slavery is most often a brutal one. Stories have been passed down for generations and documented historically showing and telling of the trials and tribulations a slave would have throughout his or her life. Slaves, in many cases, would be bought and sold at markets that resembled cattle auctions that we have today. Placed on stands like hunks of meat the potential buyers would examine them for their size, strength, and assess if the individual was best suited to perform the task at hand, whether that would...

..."Come over here and listen to a story," said the aunt, when the bachelor had looked twice at her and once at the communication cord.
The children moved listlessly towards the aunt's end of the carriage. Evidently her reputation as a story- teller did not rank high in their estimation.
In a low, confidential voice, interrupted at frequent intervals by loud, petulant questionings from her listeners, she began an unenterprising and deplorably uninterestingstory about a little girl who was good, and made friends with every one on account of her goodness, and was finally saved from a mad bull by a number of rescuers who admired her moral character.
"Wouldn't they have saved her if she hadn't been good?" demanded the bigger of the small girls. It was exactly the question that the bachelor had wanted to ask.
"Well, yes," admitted the aunt lamely, "but I don't think they would have run quite so fast to her help if they had not liked her so much."
"It's the stupidest story I've ever heard," said the bigger of the small girls, with immense conviction.
"I didn't listen after the first bit, it was so stupid," said Cyril.
The smaller girl made no actual comment on the story, but she had long ago recommenced a murmured repetition of her favourite line.
"You don't seem to be a success as a story-teller," said the bachelor suddenly from his corner.
The aunt bristled in instant defence at this...

This is story about memories, memories of childhood, about broken dreams, and of course about human relationships.
The author draws our attention to the problem of intermarriage in the early 20th century and their rejection by society.
The idea can be stated as follows white people are considered to be superior then colour people and they do not care what is this person.
In my opinion, the general mood of the extract is lyrical, melodramatic and emotional.
The given text opens with the preface from which the reader finds out that the action takes place in our days, the protagonist of the book Laura read the obituary in the newspaper: «Tolliver.

Story of an Hour
In A Story of an Hour, Mr. Bentley Mallard was a controling figure that completely dominated his marriage with his wife Mrs. Louise Mallard. Through out the story Mrs. Mallard longed for some sort of freedom. She could never have that freedom because from a young early age she was empowered by her parents and when she became of age she married and her husband became in charge. You see freedom is something that we all crave, whether it be something insignificant or something earth shattering we all have the will and desire to do whatever we please no matter how silly it is we long to do things with out judgment or with out someone telling you what to do and how to do it.
From the time that I was born, to the time that I reached about 14 years old there was an invisible barrier that developed called “The Sacred Places” in life. This “Sacred Place” separated me from the outside world. As a kid I was always told to stay inside unless I went outside with a parent or some sort of guardian watching over me. The
reason behind this was not to keep us from all of the fun things that are outside of the four walls of my house, but it was to keep me safe and secure from harm. However if I did happen to go outside with out any sort of supervision I were punished with a spank or a stern voice informing me to never do that again or else I would be in bigger trouble. In A Story of an Hour, Louise...
